Someone else is dead, but that should be expected at this point. Emma's heart seems to have hardened against it all. She's unwilling to break in the face of this horror, not even as the living dead rise up from the writhing earth to greet them. [break][break]
Their trek towards the castle comes up fruitless. Set in rows, several hundred tombstones lie with their names carved into them. It's gruesome and foreboding and sends a trickle of unease down her spine. Noivern lands not long after, it's weight crushing some of the tombstones, her own included. [break][break]
Just ahead of them lies a gate, closed of course, and barred with heavy locks. It seems impossible to penetrate and it leaves several people confused and scared. She can smell the fear in the air like a heady stench. It lingers, mixing in with the zombies that now rapidly advance on them. Several people take up arms despite their fear, and she finds it honourable and yet still stupid.[break][break]
Two other people appear to take it upon themselves to try and open the gate. The assassin doesn't make any attempt to aid them, never had she come across such cursed locks such as this. Nor did she carry Pokemon capable of handling such an obstacle.[break][break]
Instead, she turns to face the horde. One after another she releases Pokemon. She didn't want to die here, despite all of her previous thoughts about giving everything up. There had been a time where she felt like she couldn't go on, like all of the bad things she had done could not be forgiven. And yet, she had had someone by her side the whole time that never gave up on her, that counted on her.[break][break]
Hades stands, newly released, by her side. He doesn't touch her, but he holds her gaze heavy in his angry red eyes and for a moment Emma feels an actual, real pang of fear. Fear that she might actually die here, and that she might be putting Hades in danger. Both of those things are 100% correct especially given the tombstone with her name on it.[break][break]
Some voice appears out of nowhere belonging to a deceptively terrifying Pokemon. It cries out for help before being swallowed in a spiral of light, which for some reason seems awful familiar in her groggy state of mind. This was such a surreal experience and yet she couldn't understand why. This felt so wrong, and yet.. she couldn't imagine anything other than what she was going through right now.[break][break]
How strange.[break][break]
"Atropos, do what you can to slow them down, but don't get too close. Lakhesis, keep your distance as well and make good use of your ranged abilities. Clothos, protect us the best you can. Aururos, set up an ice barrier to trip them up. Eris, drive them back with boom burst."[break][break]
She doesn't give orders to Hades because he understands already what he needs to do. They've been given direct instruction not to make physical contact with the zombies, including leeching life or absorbing any and all energy from them. It seems too risky and Emma isn't about to trip up and make that sort of mistake.[break][break]
The Lycanroc remains close to his master, using his nose and eyes to make sure nothing gets past him. Should anything get too close, he makes use of his
stone edge or
rock slide to bury the zombies in rubble.[break][break]
Ariados and Galvantula team up to utilize
spider webs and discharges, electrifying the webs that hopefully hold back the horde. Aurorus and Araquanid set up barriers around Emma's group and those close to her with
light screen and safeguard in the hopes that, should any of the zombies be poisonous or otherwise, they're protected for the time being.[break][break]
The water spider also makes an effort to remain behind and safe behind the ice dinosaur while she uses
ice beam to make a slippery path between them and the zombies.[break][break]
Noivern, meanwhile, does her best to screech and
boomburst anything that gets too close, hopefully sending several creepies flying.[break][break]
